<h2>CARNET DE NOTES : Visite au Centre de régulation de la circulation</h2>
<p>À la fin novembre, notre équipe est allée voir le Centre de régulation de la circulation d’Ottawa, sur l’avenue Loretta. C’est dans ce vieux bâtiment industriel longeant le Queensway que le personnel surveille et ajuste les feux de circulation, fabrique les plaques de rue, organise le traçage des lignes sur la chaussée et plus encore.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>It has been more than six months since the derecho struck Stittsville on May 21, 2022, and there are still reminders of the storm everywhere: tree stumps in front yards, bare patches in our parks, and piles of branches along pathways.</p>
<p>Our community was one of the hardest hit by the storm. Thankfully there was no loss of life in Stittsville, but there was widespread damage to homes and property and a massive loss of trees.</p>
<p>In this report, we’ve tried to capture a chronology of the storm and power outage and how it affected Stittsville, along with a review of our team’s response. We wanted to share what we did, what we learned, and how we can be better prepared for a future emergency.</p>
<p>I welcome your feedback and would like to hear about how you experienced the storm and its aftermath. Please <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">contact me</a>.</p>
<p><em>–Councillor Glen</em></p>

<h2>Comment notre équipe a réagi au derecho</h2>
<p>Cela fait maintenant plus de six mois que le derecho a frappé Stittsville, le 21 mai 2022, et nous pouvons encore voir les cicatrices de la tempête un peu partout : souches d’arbre devant les maisons, plaques dénudées dans les parcs et piles de branchages le long des sentiers.</p>
<p>Notre communauté a été l’une des plus durement touchées par la tempête. Heureusement, nous ne déplorons aucun décès à Stittsville, mais les dommages aux maisons et aux propriétés ont été considérables, sans parler de la perte de nombreux arbres.</p>
<p>Dans le présent rapport, nous avons tenté de présenter la chronologie de la tempête et de la panne d’électricité, et leurs répercussions sur Stittsville, et passé en revue les interventions de notre équipe. Nous voulions vous faire part de ce que nous avons fait, de ce que nous avons appris et de la façon dont nous allons nous préparer en prévision d’une future situation d’urgence.</p>
<p>J’aimerais entendre vos commentaires sur votre expérience de la tempête et ses répercussions. N’hésitez pas à <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">communiquer avec moi</a>.</p>
